Finli roman yazari Mika Toimi Waltari’nin dogum yildonumu (19 Eylul 1908)
“Bugun seni ilk kez gordum. Seninle ilk kez konustum. Icim allak bullak oldu. Sanki ayaklarimin altindaki yer sarsildi. Kendi kendimi taniyamadim. Kirk yasindayim ve hayatimin sonbaharina eristigimi saniyordum. Diyar diyar dolasmis , pek cok hayat yasamistim. Azrail ile yuz yuze gelmis, hatta onunla konusmustum. Hicbir inancim kalmamisti. Ama seni gorunce mucizeye inandim.”
“Today I saw you and spoke to you for the first time. It was like an earthquake; everything in me was overturned, the graves of my heart were opened and my own nature was strange to me. I am forty, and I believed I had reached the autumn of life. I had wandered far, known much and lived many lives. The Lord had spoken to me, manifesting Himself in many ways; to me angels had revealed themselves and I had not believed them. But when I saw you I was compelled to believe, because of the miracle that happened to me.”
" ‘Mehmed bir insan degildir,’ dedim. ‘Belki de karanliklarin melegidir. Belki bu dunyaya gelisi elzemdi. Beni yanlis anlamayin... Sayet bir insansa, yepyeni bir insan olacaktir — bu turlusunun ilkidir. Onunla yeni bir cigir aciliyor. Simdiye kadar gormedigimiz bir insan neslinin yayilmasini saglayacak. Gozlerinin gormedigi, mantiklarinin kabul etmedigi hicbir seye inanmayan, gecelerin hakimi cihanin hakimi, istedikleri yolu kendileri cizen, hicbir kaideye kulak asmayan, hedeflerini kendileri tayin eden yaratiklar. Ne gok kubbenin sonsuzlugundan urken ve ne de okyanuslarin cosmalarindan yilan yaratiklar. Sulara ve karaya hakim olduktan sonra sirtlarina kanat takarak kainati uzanmaya yeltenecek olan yaratiklar. ‘ ”
“ ‘Mohammed [Fatih Sultan Mehmed] is not human,’ ‘Perhaps he is the angel of darkness, Perhaps he is the One who shall come. But don’t misunderstand me… if he is a man, then he is the new man — the first of his kind. With him begins a new era… which will bring forth men very different from the race we know. Such men will be rulers of earth, rulers of night, who in their defiance and arrogance reject heaven and choose the world. Will bring the heat and cold of hell to the earth’s surface. When they have subjugated land and sea they will build themselves wings in their demented lust for knowledge, that they may fly to the stars and subjugate even them.’
